Light

Photo of a light pole, with a drawing of a large cross on it.

Bringing light to life,
lamp posts in our street corners—
miracle workers.

Dance

Photo of a bonsai tree leaning to one side.

Owning the full stage,
limbs sprawled; ardent expressions—
bonsai stuns viewers.

Ceaseless

Close up photo of a big red flower that’s past its prime. It’s still fresh, but starting to brown on the edges and developing spots on its petals.

Scarred on the edges,
wrinkles of age on the face—
still, flower shines on.

Alight

Photo of the summer sunset, with the silhouette of a house and a jacaranda tree in the foreground.

Highlight of the day:
sun setting the sky on fire;
summer silhouettes.

Climber

Close up photo of a black ant on a broad bean plant.

Mighty hiker ant,
climbing mountains every day—
while I watch in awe.
